Pinal county made large contribution to the penitentiary boom this year, but the inference that it contains larger percentage of criminals than other coun- ties in the Territory does not properly follow. It does signify, however, that the people of Pinal county have applied the law with its full force to all offenders and that its officers have performed their duties without fear or favor. The jail has been emptied of its inmates save two awaiting sentence, one sentenced to a short term therein and one witness held for purpose, and it is safe to say that it will be many years before It's cells will again be filled as they were when the Dis I trict Court begun it's labors.

The Third Crop.
Phenix Gazette.

The Fowler brothers, of this city, have at their office box of muscat grapes, the third yield of the season, and they are equal in size to the hest in the land. These grapes were taken from the ranch of these gentlemen some twelve miles west of Phenix, where ripe grapes were picked as early as the 18th of July last. The land occupied by this family is con sldered the garden spot of the Salt river, and certainly no better or more produc- tive fruit lands can be found on the Pacific coast. A country that can pro- duce three thrifty crops of grapes each year, surely cannot be excelled in fruit raising in the country

Of the four convicts killed at Yuma

Of the four convicts killed at Yuma Thursday 27th, three-Puebla, Vasquez and Padilla-vere from Pima county. The two first were taken to Yuma less than three weeks since, by Duputies Kresham and Underwood. Vasquez and Puebla were thirty year men, but Padilla was in for five years only. He was con sidered sort of all around thief, and IS as we'll known in Florence as here. His last exploit was the Gregory robbery Of which so much was said at the time. Jose Lopez, another of the dead mutineers, IS said to be a boy 16 years of age, sent up from Cochise county for thirty years, for murder. The man Villa mentioned, is supposed to be Vega, also from Pima county, sent up for killing of Negro Davis at Arivaea in 1879. Citizen.

Some one with little ready money can derive handsome income by erect ing cottages in Florence for tenement purposes. Houses are very scarce and there is an increasing demand for them with prospect that the supply will be entirely inadequate to meet the wants of new arrivals. From two to four per cent per month can be easily realized on in vestments of this character in rents, while the increasing value of the property will very soon double the worth of the investment. This is almost like finding money, and some lucky individual car easily make a ten-strike by following l the suggestion.

 Mir. Rittenhouse was born in Wash ington, D. C., and was educated in that city, and for number of years occupied a position in the War Department. He came to Arizona in 1872 and resided for A time at Yuma and later on established a trading post at the Pima agency. His business fourished so we'll that two years ago he added to his business an establish ment in Florence. having purchased the store of w. c. Smith.
 He was car eful and enterprising bus mess man and achieved success in all his ventures and he leaves to his sorrow ing wife and two small children hand some legacy of wealth but far greater one of a good name that will always be a comfort to them.
 He was member of Florence Lodge No. 4, A. o. U. w, and of Ivanhoe Leg ion No. 2, Select Knights, and held ben eficiary certificates in both. His funeral will take place this afternoon under the auspices of the above named societies.
 He was one of the most terprisine and public spirited among the residents of Florence and his untimely loss is in deed public calamity.
 May his rest be the sweet sleep of peace and his awakening the sum of mans immortal glory.

Word comes up from the Vekol of a wonderfu strike that was made a few days ago. The report says that cham Der of ore was encountered in which one alan knocked down over fifty tons of ore in single day that will mill over SIX hundred dollars per ton. The Vekol ore is always easily mined and there is Doth- ing remarkable in the amount knocked down, but the quantity of such pherom- enally rich ore is what astonishes even those who have always banked on that wond erful property.

The farmers of the Gila valley about Florence should devote more attention to fruit culture and experiments in expand ing the products of the orchard to every possible variety of fruits. Nothing pleases the eye of stranger better than the sight of vast orchards of healthy and robust trees loaded down with tempting fruits and, as first impressions are the most lasting, tie stranger should be de- lighted upon beholding this beautiful valley. It is, however, almost too much to expect of many farmers in the valley whose fields are green with alfalfa, to change from sure net income of fifty dollars per acre per year and upwards, for uncertain experiments in fruit raising, but the owners of the new lands along the canal ought certainly to plant tree: in preference to alfalfa. It is line of product that cannot be overdone for the market is always active, particularly foi fruits that ripen month earlier than the same varieties do in California.

Advices from Silver King arc to the effect that the Crispin mill has started up, running during the day only. The mill is capable of reducing from 30 to 50 tons of ore per day. Drifts are being run in the Crispin from the 100 level to the southwest fifty feet and to the northeast forty feet. A contract is to be let for sinking another hundred feet when levels will be run and stoping commenced. The property looks very encouraging.

It is intimated that one or two fine business blocks are to be built on Main street this winter. The material used will be brick and the structures will be an ornament to the town. The place is outgrowing the age of the adobe and a new class of buildings will supplant it's use. The adobe does not make an at tractive nor clean building and eastern people find it somewhat repulsive in ap- pearancc. Brick costs a little more, but in point of solidity, durability, comfort and appearance it is vastly superior to the adobe and is therefore the cheapest building material in the end. It is hoped that all new buildings of any pretensions will be built of brick and the unsightly adobe discarded.

After arranging for the money to meet the expense of continuing the construc- ton work on the Florence canal, it is reported that the company will award contracts for it's early completion to the lands that are already taken up along its intended course. Beyond that point the exact location of the canal is somewhat indefinite, and until further surveys are made it would be an unceutain venture to file upon remote lands with the expecta- tion of receiving water from the canal. The company does not wish to make any misleading inducements by which settlers will suffer any losses and it is therefore proper that the exact route of the canal be first determined before entries are made along its supposed course. It is permanently located and will be speedily constructed to the center of township 5, range south, but beyond that no one now knows exactly where it will run.

Some of the land owners along the Florence canal are arranging to at once put portion of their possessions under cultivation. But little clearing is re- ouired and the mellow soil is easily brok en and prepared for d crop. Over a thousand acres of new land will be put under cultivation along this canal this fall and much more will be cleared and prepared for spring crops. The land owners are determined to put their pos sessions into proper shape to prove up and secure titles thereto.

"This place is growing and shows signs of prosperity; they are making plenty of 'dobles in every direction, said an observing gentleman who arrlv- ed in Florence a few lays ago. He reasoned that where building material was in course of preparation in such abundance that it was ill obedience to 8 demand, and he was eminently correct. The unmistakable signs all portend un- usual activity in building and even now there are fifteen or twenty new houses in the various stages of construction about town. The growth of Florence during the coming year will be phenom- enal, although it is but the beginning of the great season of activity that will mark the boom that Florence will sure ly experience.
